Fabulous Friday Fun ~ Oldies but Goodies for the Holidays!

Good Morning Fabulous Fellow Stampers ~

TGIF!! And I'm so glad it's an Off-Friday for me too!! So far it's been a relaxing morning, working on the "to-do" list around the house. I'm thrilled to have it cool and pretty this morning too!! More monsoon storms on their way though - should be wet later in the day!!

Today is another installment of our Christmas In July fun we're having!! Today its all about cozy sweaters, and snuggling with teddy bears. It's enough to make you just want to curl up with a cup of hot cocoa in a big overstuffed chair and read a good book!! LOL

And how fabulous that we get to play with some products today that have been with us for awhile!! The "Perks" of playing with the Annual Catalog!!!

The Old Olive card base is cut 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4" with the fold to the top. Layering includes a pop peak of the Real Red, and an Old Olive overlay that was embossed with the Cable Knit Dynamic TIEF - be sure to spritz your cardstock lightly before running this through the Big Shot - the Dynamic folders make a "deep" impression!

Then I pulled out one of our retired corner punches and used the "slot" punch on that punch to create an opening to pull my 3/8" Real Red Cotton Ribbon through and tie a "faux bow". So cute! Make it feel like it's part of the card front!

The bear image was stamped with Crumb Cake ink on Whisper White; add the ears with the same color; and the face with Early Espresso.

The stamp the image on the "back side" of the Under the Mistletoe DSP, and punch. Then you can "fussy cut" the "sweater" to fit like you want using your Paper Snips; and attach to the bear using SNAIL.

A few Glitter Enamel Dots in Granny Apple Green and cut him out with the largest Stitched Shape Framelit Oval. He's popped on the front of the card with dimensionals.

I added the sentiment stamped in Old Olive and punched with the Classic Label Punch.

And finished it off with a cute Corrugated Heart Element and a piece of 1/8" Gold Cord.

Fun, Fun, Fun, 'til the Christmas bug carries us away!!! LOL I hope you have enjoyed today's Christmas In July inspiration. More to come, I promise!!!

Now here's the deal everyone!! Next Wednesday, all the demonstrators will have a brand new HOliday Catalog with all sorts of new goodies for the coming season in their hot little hands!!
